The immediate feeling of trespassing struck him like an old friend, setting his nerves to their edge and his senses strained to extend as far from him as he could.
Hallway rooms left right right leftrighttogether turn steps down
His brain rattled off the directions as his eyes searched for the woman who had led him inside. There was no sign of her and he tore his hood down as quickly as he could, ears hoping to hear any sort of noise. His breath puffed out in tiny gasps, short jerky inhalations and exhalations to keep his own volume down.
Nothing came to him. The woman could have been in any of the rooms, down any hall, doing anything anywhere.
Just go can't wait anyone could be coming behind her you have to move now now NOW
Every footstep sounded like a hammer to him.
Outside, Lady Crofte's apparent clumsiness sent her stepping into one of the two men escorting a rather prestigious-looking Ishgardian noble. He wore his most impressive absurdly-ineffective hat, more interested in catching eyes than storing heat. His robe resplendent finery and he brought his gaze down on the woman, a smile striking up as she turned her charms on the guard.
"Ah! Someone from the lowlands who is interested in our grand nation!" He seemed to bask in her words. "Your ilk would do well to learn by our example. Ishgard bows knee to no enemy, no empire, you see." His words were full of pride as he gestured towards the tower of Whitebrim.
"This encampment is a testament. Despite the pressing of the Dravanian hordes, Ishgard's borders stand firm! Ah, such might."
